How to Get The Vanished Warder Quest
To gain some reputation in the camp and get into the castle, we must do a series of quests and run errands. This guide will aid you in one of the quests called the Vanished Wader and earn some experience. Finding Sly, let’s take the starting point from the main gate first, head to the entrance of the old camp, then turn right and walk straight. You will find Sly sitting on the bench to the right, as shown in the image below.
Go near him to auto-trigger the conversation. He will say that one of his colleagues, named Nek, has been missing for some time, since we are fresh in the camp and expendable; he will ask us for help finding him. Accept the quest. Now turn left and head down to the marketplace as shown in the image below.
Quest Walkthrough
Before heading outside, we need a couple of items: a sword, a bow, and arrows, because we have to hunt molerats and gather the intel to complete this quest. If you don’t have any, buy those from the marketplace. This quest will not just be for Sly but also for Fletcher, a guard patrolling around the arena area, covering Nek, and cook Snaf sent Nek outside to gather some ingredients to cook. He has been missing since then.
Head straight from the marketplace, past a couple of shacks, then turn right and head outside through the south gate, as shown in the image below.
Once outside, slightly turn right, and start walking towards a den, as shown in the image below.
Get to the den, you will see that two molerats are around there, hunt them, and go inside the den. There will be a dead body of Nek. Get the amulet on the ground and other items around there, and head back to the camp first inform Snaf, then Fletcher, and then Sly, and hand over the amulet as proof. Doing this, you will gain a bit more experience, and Sly will vouch for you.
